the distance between two cities on a map is 3.5 centimeters. The map uses a scale in which 1 centimeter reprecents 20 kilometers. what is the actual distance between these two cities in kilometers?

Respuesta :

Answer:

70 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion where x is the actual distance

[tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3.5}{x}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

x = (20)(3.5)

x = 70

So, the actual distance is 70 km
